I can't think of any that I've seen and don't like, I'm sure there are some out there though just can't think of them at the moment. The ones I listed up top are just the ones that come to mind immediately, I have plenty more.

I really liked;
Fury
We Were Soldiers
Saving Private Ryan
Black Hawk Down
Band of Brothers (Mini-series but I'm counting it)
The Pacific (see above)

I actually thought Fury was one of the more realistic war films out there. I mean yes the SS unit they encountered were completely stupid, but not all of the SS units in real life were as "elite" as they're made out to be. And the film is set in 1944/1945, when the German army was scraping the bottom of the barrel for manpower. Which explains the SS unit and why the Tiger crew pulled out of their cover position to engage the Shermans.

That's just one thing that I don't like about it. But what mainly disturbs me is for example why are there trenches in the middle of a field or why do the germans start to shoot when the allied are just a few meters away from them and the germans had weapons with a bigger reach. :) And it isn't realistic that only a five men can fight against about 500 german SS soldiers. But yea opinions :) What I liked about the movie is that they used a real tiger not like in Saving Private Ryan where they used a modified T-34 :)

Seems like the jarhead sequels weren't even close to being impactful to showing the horrors of war on an individual and just action flicks

Best: Act of Valor
Worst: Jarhead 3

Favorites (Albeit many of them):
Von Ryan's Express (One of my more favorite films)

Where Eagles Dare

The Great Escape

The Imitation Game (Bloody marvelous film)

 

Very Good:
Black Hawk Down (Obviously) 

The Great Raid (Outstanding)
Tora, Tora, Tora
Downfall - Simply because of it's different perspective. 

Can't believe I forgot about this one, Platoon. 

few recommendations that i have not seen here

Black Eagle (korean movie about a fighter pilot. English dub is hilarious. can be a bit slow at times) - feels like watching a ace combat movie

Battle LA (war/sci fi action packed from start to finish)

Lost Battallion

Red Tails
